Description:  Daniel McCarty is buried in the Old Yeoomico Church Cemetery in Westmoreland County, VA. The inscription on his tomb can no longer be read. The following is taken from A SKETCH OF YEOCOMICO CHURCH and was reprinted from an article by Mrs. Elenor Griffith Fairfax, which was printed in THE SOUTHERN CHURCHMAN in 1888. "Close to the base of the right and east gable is the rocky foundation of a vault, in size 15x18 feet; it is now a grassy mound with several cedar trees growing upon it. Near the center of this mound is a gray stone tablet much defaced by time, and it was only after repeated efforts that I have finally succeeded in making out the inscription, which is as follows, Here lyeth the body of Daniel McCarty, who departed this life the fourth of _____ 1724, in the forty-fifth year of his age. He was endowed with many virtues and good qualifications, but the actions proceeding from them bespeak their praise. Here also lyeth the body of Thaddeus McCarty, youngest son to Daniel McCarty, Esq., who died the 7, of February, 1731, in the 19, year of his age.  Near this place likewise is the body of Penelope, wife to Daniel McCarty, second son of Daniel McCarty, Esq., and daughter to Christine Higgins, Gent., who departed this life the 26, of March, 1732, in the 19 year of her age, with one child.
Description:  Penelope's tomb is at Yeocomico church adjacent to that of Capt. Daniel McCarty [1679-1724], whose ledger includes the sentence 'Near this place likewise is the body of Penelope, wife to Daniel McCarty [ca. 1707-1744], second son of Daniel McCarty, Esq., and daughter to Christine [according to a transcriber of the 19th century; now defaced] Higgens, Gent, who departed this life the 26 of March,
1732, in the 19 year of her age, with one child.'   W.M. McCarty & Kathleen Much, "The McCartys of the Northern Neck"
